• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: determination, we already have a litany of jurisprudence from the many cases that we have handled as a House. Thirdly and lastly, the Senate is converting itself to a quasi-judicial institution. Whereas other decisions we make are because of political considerations, it will be important that all the decisions we make today are for posterity. This is because there are many judicial decisions related to impeachment. I sat in the Committee that listened to the charges against Gov. Wambora and we had the question of whether the procedure was followed by the county assembly. Others came as a result of ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Kang’ata and I went to the University of Nairobi, School of Law, where in his short moment of problems as a student leader, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. represented him in court. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. was the lawyer of students at the university. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: The main issue that many Senators are attributing to their decision or support for the Motion is that the lawyers of Waititu failed the Governor. Sen. Kang’ata by his own admission has said that he has personal relationship having been partners with Njenga and George who both of us went to University of Nairobi with. Having admitted that fact on the Floor of this House, how will the country expect to vote in a situation where the main decision why the Members of his House have a problem with the ultimate decision is his own partner? The electronic version of ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are now at the very most critical moment and I have heard so many colleagues here. Time is a very important factor; when we started, people were so cranky and emotional because everybody was trying to defend the decisions that they have made. You can see that people are now relaxed, perhaps in the confidence that they have numbers. The proceedings of the impeachment of the Governor of Kiambu is very important. I have been in this House; when the impeachment of Governor Samboja came late last year, the conversation was different. Our friends, particularly on ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: shielded from being brought to this House? This is a very telling coincidence because for the eight years that I have been in this House, the pattern is that it is in a particular direction and in particular political party; but one political party has never even attempted an impeachment in a county assembly. That kind of a pattern tells us something about the politics of devolution and we cannot ignore that. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to vote on an impeachment of a governor when I can say here without fear of contradiction; we have doubts about ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you told me that I have to make my position known at the end, this is the time that I am making my position known. As the Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet County, I have problems with the way Elgeyo-Marakwet is being managed; my Governor is under investigation and he has been to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for all those kinds of things. Even if the same procedure is brought in this House to impeach Governor Tolgos, I will never support because I must be seen to be consistent in defending the law, the Constitution and the ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Therefore, I beg to reply. I can see the mob lynching of the Governor, the politics of the day is favoring his lynching but politics change, times change. If God gives me the opportunity to be in this House again, I will be very happy when another governor, who will have been one of us will be brought to the dock. This House must follow the right procedure. I have no doubt in my mind, notwithstanding the final decision that this House will make, and I am saying this anticipating a decision that I know because I have been in ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: I can see where it is going, and I know what vehicle drove people to what direction and those are from our--- view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: That vehicle must be left for auditing--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
